Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catch 'em everywhere I go go
When they holla let them know
Ain't no going back and forth no
I be coastin my own lane
I ain't got no time for the games
You playing
They be tryna say I changed
I be tryna stay up
And I like it when I'm there
When I'm there
I ain't looking back
On my way up
I ain't coming down
Been there
Doing me now
When they see you on the way up
They always try to come back
When they see you got your weight up
They always try to come back
Always tryna come back
Come back
Come back yeah
Always tryna come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
I gave them clowns a second chance
They wanted four more
Now them niggas missing out on me
Like they got FOMO
Only time they see my ass is scrolling through my photos
They say to keep you foes close
But to me that's a no-no
I don't like no broke hoes who be tryna say they know me
Ya'll bitches be hella phony
You only just knew the old me
Homie don't know where you think this is going
Real niggas only
Don't hit me just cuz you lonely
I"m hot now you all up on me
I be tryna stay up
And I like it when I'm there
When I'm there
I ain't looking back
On my way up
I ain't coming down
Been there
Doing me now
When they see you on the way up
They always try to come back
When they see you got your weight up
They always try to come back
Always tryna come back
Come back
Come back yeah
Always tryna come back
Come back
Come back
Come back
